I preffer bit.ly since it allows you to use custom short domains if own one, for free. Also, the analytics and information that you get from it is pretty valuable. Tags and comments are also a very useful feature for organizing your links, especially when you have hundreds of links

I personally use Google (like always!) and recommend it to others as well! No need to sign-up separately if you are already signed-in with your Gmail account and it give you all time insights for Clicks, Referrers, Browsers, Countries, etc! http://goo.gl
